Yan Wushi had walked a path full of blood and corpses.

He did not believe in the good nature of humanity. Even more so, he did not believe that there could be someone with great kindness and sense of justice, who would be so considerate of others without asking anything in return.

One day, Shen Qiao, who was the sect leader of Mount Xuandu, the number one Daoist sect under the heavens, was challenged to a duel but somehow fell off the cliff.

Yan Wushi happened to pass by down there.

Seeing Shen Qiao who was seriously injured to the point of dying, he suddenly came up with a perfect idea…

After thousands of autumns, who could stay eternal?

The story is deep and very well written. I thought I would get bored reading this after a while but I didn't expect for the plot to be this interesting. The connection between the characters, the schemes and conspiracies, the emotional depth of the characters.... just *chef's kiss.* As for the characters, the MC was gentle and quite naïve.

Every time he speaks, I feel my heart soften like he's really gentle. But he's no pushover, I was cheering inside whenever he beats those people who underestimates him. Another thing; his... more>> character development was amazing.

The ML here is a scum like really a scum lmaoo. I'm not surprised by some of his actions considering his background.
Spoiler

But damn... when he betrayed Shen qiao at the first part of the story T^T...

[collapse]

the bantering between the MC and the ML is so funny. The romance was barely there (yes in my opinion, it's barely there) but you will notice the gradual shift of the ml's attitude and feelings towards the MC. like what started plainly as amus**ent and desire to corrupt the MC began to evolve into something more deeper.

also, the last chapter didn't feel like an ending but a continuation of their journey. <<less

This novel will always be my most favorite among all the great novels I have read.

Such a toxic ML yet I still love him😂

The MC really caught my heart. He's such a beautiful badass daoist for me. The Helen of Troy ahy. I really love his personality and righteousness.

Definitely a lo of plot and personally I felt like it started out kinda slow but it's so worth it especially because it lays a very good foundation for the later parts of the novel. I did feel like some parts of the plot were ??? or unnecessary. For example, ... more>>
Spoiler

the whole cave with the monkeys and spiders was very weird. Like I get why it was there, but at the same time it felt out of place and not in line with the mood of the rest of the story. Also it dragged on for too long imo.

[collapse]

If you're coming in here expecting romance it really isnt the novel for that, especially since it only starts to develop until more than halfway through and "officially" get together until the extras. Personally I liked that, since it made it more realistic considering the characters and didnt make them ooc. I liked how the relationship betweeen those two developed and even if
Spoiler

YWS betrayed SQ it was resolved in a way that was believable and he did expend effort into gaining back his trust and obviously came to care for him (in his own way tho lmaoooo rip shen qiao)

[collapse]
There were some close calls where I thought things were gonna get weird but thankfully we steered clear of all the gross tropes in the genre. (tho there was some non-con kissing but never anything excessive)

The characters were very fleshed out and the author put a lot of thought into all their actions and motivations, and the writing was also very good. there was a lot of focus on the martial arts aspect of the story where I sometimes forgot this was a danmei..... but I was very invested in the whole political intrigue and all the drama so it was ok. <<less

I think this is totally under rated even though it has a good rating it deserves even more...

the characters are mature and have an understanding of the world they learn to like each other in their mutual fight for their goals. I just love that they are older and not 17 year olds or eternal 17 year olds (not that anythings wrong with that.). Its just refreshing and makes their struggles more relatable for me since some of the discussed themes like what you can expect of others and people... more>> who seem far, understanding you deeper and better. these are things I think many people go through its just great watching the main characters learn about both disappointment and hope in others.

also I care deeply for the political kind of story and love the arrogant and scheming yan wushi that has step by step plans for every move in life, career and love and no redeeming qualities =)).

in contrast it's very cool to follow shen qiao as he struggles to live by his standards and regain his strength while remaining good and incorruptible even though it's almost impossible.

the MC is a real extrovert which is not all that common and the slow romance is both rewarding and appropriate and the cool thing about it is that they learn to accept each other not trough some untold and redeeming facts but through learning and understanding the others viewpoint. I just love stories that show people of opposite standing points understanding each others motives and thoughts and learning from each other.

the animation changes the story and characters a bit and I feel yan wushi is less of an ass hole in it (which to me is a shame.) yet he is a delight to look at and I totally loved the way some scenes were depicted

one of the other things I loved is the arrogant female side characters growth... I mean dear writer I sincerely thank you for caring about many characters and their developments other than the main couple even though the story is super focused on them.

overall if you're a bit older I think this novel might really catch your eye as it did mine. I totally lost sleep over it <<less

It was a very slow burn but when the MC and the ML got together, it was very satisfying.

There wasn't as much thrill and drama as compared to other xianxia novels. Even when the MC was facing life-threatening danger, I didn't feel particularly worried about him.

However, I would have liked to know about the ML's past. It was briefly mentioned in a few sentences but wasn't expanded upon.

This novel was so good. Shen Qiao is a protagonist that you cannot help but love, he goes through several hardships but still remains himself. Yan Wushi, at times I couldn't help but feel frustrated at him, but ultimately I liked him.

This is extreme slow burn.

... more>>
Spoiler

yan wushi realizes his feeling towards shen qiao, at the end of the main story. Shen qiao never does. There are hints of his feelings towards yws but there's never a realization, he realizes in the extras.

[collapse]

The development of yanshen's relationship is in the extras!

Also, I enjoyed the plot, it made me very hooked. <<less

The main plot, MC and everything else about this book is really good, except the ML Yan Wushi whom I really wanted to slap in the face sometimes.
Spoiler

Nothing can excuse the abuse he puts the MC through and I am sorry but I cannot ignore or accept how many times he engages in non-consentual physical touches, even if they get together in the end. Also, one thing the felt like a bone stuck in my teeth was how in the scene which can be conisdered the ultimate climax of the story the MC is reduced to just a viewer on the sideline?? Who is only needed to wipe blood off the mls lips.
Coming to the good parts, though he is not part of the ending climax scene, the MC Shen Qiao does have his glory moments through out the book and has a wonderful character arc. He starts off as a learned but naive person who due his lack of exposure to the darker parts of society and the world is betrayed by his closest brother/friend. So at the start of the novel we meet him at his most vulnerable, left weak from the battle he lost but still stubborn and determined to face the world with kindness and empathy. Through the book, he loses his naivety and changes his world views through the many sufferings, but never once loses his moral fiber. Infused with the teachings of daoism the book shows how he flows like water through the twists of life and crashes against the sharp edged rocks but never once loses his true nature.

[collapse]

I would say, leave aside the romance if the tsundere type of ML is not your cup of tea, but read the book just for Shen Qiao and accompany him as he navigates the poisonous web of society with a heart of gold.

This is a beautiful novel. You won't find a more unique and flawed MC like Shen qiao. It's easy to fall in love with him. For those looking for a plot, this novel has a pretty strong narrative but it's heavy on the politics and history. On the character front, both shen qiao and yan wushi are interestingly refreshing. Both retain their true nature and don't change or bend to the will of the readers. If yan wushi was conniving and cunning as we begin the story, at the end... more>> of the extra, he doesn't alter his personality and neither does Shen qiao. This is what makes these two more respectable in my eyes.
Plot wise, it's not over the top and at the same it's still predictable. But yan wushi thru his unpredictable actions makes this story worthwhile.

This is quite satisfying while reading yet I felt not contented at the end. I would chalk it up to small amount of BL esque romance. I came for the danmei and while was pleased with the crumbs peppered all over the novel, it still doesn't come close to what I had in mind. Because yan and Shen are like oil and water, I was attracted by the idea of two ppl who had no common ground except for being grandmasters of daiosm get together as a romantic couple. Those extras were fine, but I wanted more? Honestly, I pushed through the end only for the extras. The whole novel was fixated heavily on politics. Also, I did not understand why we need a constant reminder of how Shen has become blind and how his level of wugong is still incomparable to his past. Shen having the benefit of reading all four of the zhu Yang ce books, his final potential as a true grandmaster probably stronger than yan wushi is left untouched till the end. I am a bit upset. This is a story of a man who went through great trials, betrayals to get to where he is now by working really hard and keeping his heart very pure.
In the climax, if I said I appreciated
Spoiler

Hulugu losing to yan, then it's pretty untrue. The poor guy never caught a break. First the girl he sort of liked deceives him, then he loses to qi fengge and after going MIA for 20 years, he couldn't avenge kunye. And ultimately still lost his life to yan.

[collapse]
I will admit one thing though, those extras were super fluffy. With Shen finally accepting yan, their dynamics became too cute. Even if yan wushi is not the kind of guy who is worthy of standing next to pretty much anyone, he has made slight efforts to improve our perception of him. Finally you see a couple who are not labelling their positions. 🥰
To conclude, if you are in for a good storyline, above average narrative and action packed sequences, then look no where else but at qianqiu. But if hardcore danmei is what you seek, you can still patiently work through this novel to get to the fluffy extras. I cannot articulate my thoughts properly as the buzz from having completed a novel is still on. <<less

Love the people who praise the translation because of the many pinyin because in actual professional translation work this is called transcribing, and it's considered or paid as translation. Different levels of localization require different things but the general rule of thumb is you transcribe only people's names and names of cities and translate the rest. As this is for free I cannot help by being immensely admiring and grateful to the translators who toiled over the enormous amount of historical and poetic references, but the swift from Eng to... more>> pinyin was just unnecessary. The work has already been done anyway.

To stay on topic, here's my personal hall of fame of translator's notes. In all of danmei, this is the peak:

[9] I want Shen Qiao to be my boyfriend and I want him to say that he was sorry for leaving me behind ok this just!!!!!!! THIS IS JUST!!!!!

[21] not just them but us too old man!

[35] yeaaaaaa thats him...

[55] DAMN.... LMAOOOOOOO SDJKNCSKJDKSBFKHDSKJH

.... idk its 2 am SOBS

[9] Don't blame me for getting excited!

[10] Shen Qiao baby you do that parkour!

[16] GUH. WE ARE DOING AH NIANG AND AH DIE. sorry fam.

[32] FRRRR IS THAT WHAT YOU REMEMBERRRRR LMAOOOOOOOO IM... WOW

[36] YES she really kept this detail YES it sent me when I read it

[27] Zhou is congee, but I f*cking hate the word congee (what the f*ck is that?) so I'm calling it zhou. sorry! <<less

This is an overall pretty solid novel. The plot is pretty solid, politics heavy and full of well written fight scenes. However based on my personal preference, it has too much fight scenes for me (i prefer my fight scenes animated, I cant fare well with written ones haha) but that didn't hold me back from enjoying. If you prefer romantic slow paced slice of life novels, this novel isn't for you. It is action packed and thick with plot.

The characters are also very well written, I can't believe this... more>> novel made me cry on two characters that only appeared for a couple chapters. I love the side characters very much, very fleshed out never felt dull. As for MC, he is precious and must be protected at all costsssss. I like that he isn't a pushover kind person (a little bit naive sometimes but still knows his limits).I just wish he gave ML a harder time before he forgave him, but I guess that is in his nature and what makes Shen Qiao what he is. As for ML, you either love him or hate him haha but you can't deny he is hilarious haha. Though I really hate him specially when
Spoiler

he betrays shen qiao, when he already considered him a friend aiyaaa so painful.

[collapse]
I wish his redemption arc involved more of his regret and how he plans to make it up to MC. This would have made them getting together more satisfying. I didn't feel too satisfied when they got together it felt a lil bit anticlimactic lol like damn make the bad man feel some regret over his actions. CP interactions are very funny though, romance felt so-so not enough pining and yearning haha but still overall pretty good novel would recommend. <<less

Shen Qiao makes me try to be a better person, Yan Wushi shows me that it's ok to hold on to your beliefs (albeit his beliefs are kind of morally wrong in society)

I didnt feel it was an amazing to die novel but I would say it was good. I enjoyed the story, it was never boring. I especially love the circular karmatic cycle that the author used frequently.

It's a good read :) give it a try. You may learn something about life from it. Like sometimes you need... more>> to lose everything to gain a whole new world :) <<less

i dropped this at c22. I think it has great world building and good potential. It seems like the kind of plot i'd usually love. I just can't seem to stand any of the character. Yes our MC included. Something about every single character i've seen so far bothers me. Like they're lacking and wasn't written very well. They just don't feel real. May be I might come back to it again if I feel like it.

ps. The translation is done very well. Top tier. Thank you!

Fantastic! I love the interaction between the MC and ML. I don't want to say much because I always screw it up.
Highly recommended. And with regard to donghua, I also recommend it, I think they made a very good adaptation.

I found this novel over the donghua, and what I didn't expect is that it would become one of my favourites very quickly. Main reasons being: the world-building, Shen Qiao's character: aka portray of a strong willed character that also isn't a Mary Sue, Yan Wushi's shameless flirt personality, and the humor! The story itself is very plot-driven and the romance is slow burn as the novel primarily focuses on development of the characters first. But if you are looking for really unique dynamics and characters that stay true to... more>> their original goals and personalities, it's really worth a read! Not to mention, it's really funny at certain times while also being one hell of a ride! <<less

Initially, I was really excited about this and I really couldn’t wait to read it. And while I did enjoy it for the most part, there were places I got bored and other places I felt like could do with a bit more explanation while at the same time the repetition of the same basic explanation in other places was downright annoying.

I wished that the whole fight for the throne was drawn out. Like it just felt wait to quick. One second that guy took over and the next we... more>> hear nothing about it until suddenly, we’re back on the storyline and his reigns over within seconds. I get that it wasn’t the main plot point and just serves to further advance the relationship between the characters as well as put the MC back in his rightful place but it could have been more interesting since it was still part of the storyline.

this also goes for the setup on YW I felt like that whole situation surrounding the fight could have been more detailed but again, I know it was just a plot point for development and he’s not the MC.

over all pretty interesting tho so I’ll rate it 4.5 <<less

How I wish it will be longer.. the interaction and bickering between the leads just adorable.... maybe at some point the thing that Yan Wushi had done seem can't be forgiven but when we look at certain point the action seem bearable for those who never treated with that kind of kindness and Shen Qiao show how love and doing kindness repeatedly can melt even an iron heart. Everyone should get a second chance because how Shen Qiao giving a second chance to Yan Wushi touch the soft side of... more>> him. Overall for me, its a great story that bring me to watch how the leads personality and character developed. Now after finished the novel, I'm kind of missing the cute and the arrogant leads. <<less

Great novel plot wise but the romance was unconvincing. I would not even describe it as a slow burn, just slow. I would recommend this novel to those looking for well written characters that develop throughout the story but not to those looking for an earth shattering romance.

A very rare time when I spent just 3-4 days to finish a kinda-long-story. Thousand Autumns is indeed very good to read. It is not only about romantic relationship, but also included political affairs, histories that were in fact exist, bad-good human relationship, etc. The main characters are also very likable, even though the ML is a bit... well, you know it. But anyway, my another favorite danmei novel all the time.

At first, I only read first few chapters and got muddled with all the history and politics and was disinterested. BUT I saw the donghua and couldn't help but crawl back here to read the rest of the chapters and.... damn...

Though the plot was heavily influenced by the history, I loved Shen Qiao's character growth and Yan Wushi's thick face. Their relationship was definitely different, interesting and a fresh breath from all other bl novels that I've read so far.

The donghua's plot is little different but interesting nonetheless and YWS... more>> is so damn hot that it left me speechless. And SQ is so P R E T T Y ! ! Getting a face to imagine while reading your favorite characters is absolutely wonderful.

Anyways, thank you so much for the translation. You guys are angels 💓💓💓 <<less

This Novel is Amazing I can't wait to Finished it and know what will happen in the End.

Firstly: I'm so annoyed by Yan Wushi behavior he is totally not my ML Type I don't know if I'll change my mind about him in the future or not, but I like Shen Xiao he is My protagonist type but I also hate how he is so pure in the heart in a scum world like this. Even after all this betrayal from his Martial brother and Yan Wushi he still can't... more>> hate them and blame himself for his ignorance.

Secondly: This Novel plot is well developed and makes you live the suffering, sadness, happiness with the characters. I can say it is great as 2Ha.

Lastly, if you want to read this novel try to put your heart in ice or put ice instead of your heart in your chest because in every chapter you'll be angry because of Yan Wushi's s*upidness. I was so angry at him that I could be vomiting blood.

I'm going to continue reading the rest~~~ <<less
